Re: Protein Only (warning: a few religious words included)

Well, my day was a bit mixed.

I did great at work; busy, no problems. I had some chicken broth at lunch

because for a moment there I couldn't face the thought of one more sweet

tasting thing! That helped a great deal.

My car was in the shop and was ready too late for me to go to the gym, so I

just walked at home. At dinner, my dh was grilling hamburgers. I had about

half of a small patty. So my shakes-and-bars-only day became an Atkins day.

But I do feel good and (I know this is probably psychological) sort of

" lighter " somehow.

Water has been good all day too.

I did some reading and then spent an hour at the church's prayer vigil for

peace. While I know I am not " fasting " (and really can't) it does feel good

to have imposed a discipline. I used to do a complete water/juice fast from

Maundy Thursday to Easter Sunday every year. It was a special time for me. I

can't do that now; I'd just flat pass out! So this feels like an adequate

substitute for this time in my life.

That's it for me! Tune in tomorrow....

hugs,

Ann
